China, EU, USA, Japan Signed International Mutual Recognition Agreement on Elevator Energy Efficiency Labeling
Core contents of this agreement: first, full coverage of mutual recognition scope, covering all categories of passenger elevators, goods elevators, escalators, home elevators, mutual recognition contents including energy efficiency level, test method, test report, certification, one test, global universal, multi-country recognition; second, unified standard docking, based on ISO 25745 international energy efficiency standard, China E5 level = EU A++ level = US Energy Star highest level = Japan JIS level 1, globally unified energy efficiency classification and limit, test data error ≤2% can be mutually recognized; third, mutual recognition of testing institutions, laboratories accredited by China CNAS, EU CE, US A2LA, Japan JAB test reports globally recognized, no repeated testing required, certification cycle shortened by 60%, cost reduced by 50%; fourth, mutual recognition of market access, certified elevator products direct access to Chinese, European, American, Japanese markets, enjoying policies of green procurement priority, tariff reduction, subsidy support, global green elevator market barriers completely broken; fifth, data sharing mechanism, establishing global elevator energy efficiency database, real-time sharing of energy efficiency data, test reports, certification information, violation notifications, jointly cracking down on false energy efficiency, forged certificates; sixth, dynamic update mechanism, revising mutual recognition standards every 2 years, simultaneously upgrading energy efficiency limits, incorporating new technologies, adapting to new policies, always maintaining global energy efficiency standard advancement. After implementation, China's elevator IE5/E5 high energy efficiency products unimpeded global export, annual certification cost savings over 1 billion yuan, global elevator energy efficiency increased by 30%, setting a model for global green manufacturing and low-carbon development.
